Shawl #2 is done!

A testament to the wonders of blocking...it probably doubled in size after soaking and laying out to dry.

I've given this to my younger sister to use in her silent auction - any money she makes goes toward her Chamber Orchestra account so she can go on a really neat field trip to Seattle, WA.  She can set the opening bid and I recommended she set it at $30 - $35 simply because of all the effort I've put into it, not to mention the cost of the yarn.

 

  

  

 

My mom, modeling the shawl with the classic wingspan pose :)  Thanks Mom!

I got a wonderful surprise today!

Ok so you know the shawl swap that I've been talking about?  I got mine from my partner today!!  She lives in England, sooooo my shawl is English LOL.  But really, it's a beautiful shawl!  It's knitted, since I'm not a knitter that makes it super neat.  I can't stop oohing and aahing over it.  Or hugging it.  It's squooshy.

Below are pictures for your viewing pleasure XD

Really...I'm ecstatic!

She sent a nifty matching shawl pin to go with it:

And a pretty silver necklace with wing pendants!

And a very pretty project bag...I love the fabric.

The highlight is definitely the shawl.  I. Am. In. LOVE.
